WK Translation Notes

a
No one can intelligently keep the word "te" (and) in the Greek text, thus reading, "and whatsoever things he saw." The best MSS. and versions are unanimous; and so are all careful editors. The erroneous addition falsifies the sense; for it makes of John’s visions a third division of his testimony, instead of representing them as qualifying the word of God and the testimony of Jesus which he testified.
